[QUOTE="kerrigor, post: 1312716, member: 219054"] Evening all, My MacBook Pro has just turned extremely slow for no apparent reason, and the fan is really noisy. I also cannot turn the machine off, every time I do it just restarts. I'm running OS-X Lion 10.7.2.0. After looking at various forums and posts and whatnot, I discovered this site: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964]Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)[/url] Though this seemed to be the right way to go, so far nothing has been changed and I have tried a few times, and I suspect that this is because I have to hard shut down the computer because I cannot figure out how to shut it down using normal means. Please help! Thanks, Kerrigor [/QUOTE]
